Doctoral Project

To what extent are European middle powers responding to increasing strategic competition between China and the U.S. in security and technology policy? Why is it so difficult for U.S. governments to assert their preferences in regard to semiconductor supply chains? What role does the quest for digital sovereignty play? In his dissertation "Awakening to the Era of Weaponized Interdependence? Semiconductor Production Networks, Sino-US Tech Competition, and how European Powers Respond", Philip Nock explores these questions through in-depth case studies of British, German, and Dutch politics.
